Abstract

A fast-moving hemoglobin variant was found in five members of a Chinese family of the Wuming district. The relative amount of this alpha chain variant in the heterozygote was about 20%. The abnormality caused no ill effects in its carriers. Sequence analysis identified a Lys substituting for Gln substitution at position alpha-11 (A9).
